    Is this a scam?

    Does $180 for a proven female albino bp sound right? Sounds hard to believe to me

    Hi,

    Did you search for their name on the BOI or ask there? Their mods would be able to check for african IP's etc easily.

    But proven usually means already bred so over 1500g most likely - and the chances of that being for sale for $180 honestly and in good health seem remarkably slim.

    Think of it as good practice on how to researh a seller.
